A month later, Yilian.
The dust was flying, and a group of knights came galloping from the north. They were all in a hurry, their faces were covered with dust, and they were in a state of embarrassment. The leader, who was fat and tall, was the Emperor of Later Yan, Murong Bao.
There was a sound of horses neighing, and Murong Bao's horse suddenly stopped. It stood on its hooves and refused to move forward any more. Murong Bao raised his whip and beat him fiercely. While beating him, he cursed: "You want to rebel too, you beast?"
Me? Let’s go, let’s go quickly!”
Zhao Si's voice sounded from beside him: "Your Majesty, horses have spirituality. There may be a deep meaning in not moving forward. We might as well rest first. There have been no pursuers in the past few days. Maybe something happened in Longcheng."
Maybe."
The corner of Murong Bao's mouth curled up, and he whipped the horse again bitterly, but stopped further movements. He looked at Zhao Si and said: "What kind of variables can there be in Dragon City? Even Murong Nong
We all defected to the rebels. If Sheng'er hadn't acted quickly and rushed out to protect me, I'm afraid we would all have died in Longcheng. Alas, God won't help me, Dayan. Now we have no choice but to defect to Fan Yang in the south.
King, is there any other choice?"
Zhao Si curled up his lips and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Liaoxi seems to have been coerced by the rebels. This matter needs to be investigated further. Don't unjustly accuse a good man."
Murong Bao said angrily: "Fart! Could it be that the rebels captured him from the city? If the rebels could capture him, they would have gone into the city to kill me long ago. It was obviously him who ran out of the city to follow the rebels
What kind of shady deal did he make, kidnapped someone to patrol the city, and helped the rebels call for surrender, so that Dragon City was lost without a fight? How can such a person defend him?!"
Zhao Si did not dare to say any more, and Yu Chong on the other side frowned: "Your Majesty, let's not mention Murong Nong's matter. Let's talk about Murong De. He has established a foothold in Nanyan, but he did not send troops to counterattack Hebei. The one he sent last time
That Li Yan, I think, is just here to investigate the situation here, and may not be loyal. You are the commander of the expedition in person, but there is no envoy from Nanyan to agree on the meeting. There is something strange about this."
Murong Bao's face changed: "You mean, King Fan Yang is unreliable? No, the late emperor has always been optimistic about him, saying that he is absolutely loyal and will never betray me. Over the years, he has also been treating Dayan
So loyal."
Yu Chong gritted his teeth: "Forgive me for talking too much, general. People will change with the changes of the environment. In the past, Yan was unified, and Your Majesty was the Lord of the North. The princes were not strong enough, so naturally they had no different intentions. However, now the country of Yan is in crisis.
Your Majesty himself is unable to suppress the kings. Instead, you have to rely on them. If you go to them, it will be difficult to protect their loyalty. The late emperor once asked your Majesty to be transferred to Murong Hui. Isn't this guy still harboring evil intentions? King Fan Yang now owns Qingzhou and has strong troops and horses.
, will he be as loyal as before?"
Murong Bao's lips began to tremble: "Then, what do you think we should do?"
Yu Chong said in a deep voice: "Dragon City is the land of Longxing in Dayan. The tribes here are still loyal to Dayan. People like the Lan tribe have not participated in Duan Sugu's rebellion yet. I thought
, they are still waiting and watching, or accumulating strength. When Duan Sugu broke the city that day, he killed people and looted everywhere in the city. Such people will never win the support of the people of Longcheng. As long as His Majesty leads the army back, he will definitely be able to do so.
With one call and a hundred responses, the rebellion was successfully suppressed!"
Murong Bao opened his eyes wide: "But where did I get the army now? You are the only ones around me. If I want to go back to Dragon City now, won't I risk my death?"
Yu Chong laughed: "Didn't His Majesty send King Changle and General Muyu to recruit troops and horses in the Jizhou area? Now that the Wei army has retreated to the grassland, they can only control one big city in Hebei, and the villages everywhere, including Wubao, are mostly knotted.
The village must protect itself. As soon as His Majesty's edict comes, many loyal people will come to help. However, Duan Sugu was so cruel and cruel that he actually killed Murong Nong. Now he didn't even have any members of the Murong clan who could be recommended as puppets.
, as long as His Majesty returns with his army, he will definitely be killed by his men!"
Murong Bao was a little hesitant: "Do you really think that returning to Longcheng is more reliable than going to Nanyan?"
Yu Chong said loudly: "Of course, Dragon City is the land of Murong's Longxing after all, and it is the foundation of Dayan. If you abandon Dragon City, there will be no place to retreat to. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Murong Bao gritted his teeth, sat up straight on the horse, and said loudly: "To convey my will, Zhao Si, the commander of the Zhonghuangmen, will send my envoy to Qingzhou with my banner, and ask Murong De, King of Fanyang, to quickly send troops to respond.
This time we don’t need to capture Hebei, we can directly attack Dragon City.”
Zhao Si's face showed joy: "I obey the order."
Murong Bao turned to Yu Chong and said: "General Yu, now I only have you, a loyal minister and good general, with me. We will stay here for the time being. On the one hand, we will gather the stragglers and on the other hand, we will wait for the reply from King Changle and Zhao Huangmen.
, If God does not kill me, Dayan, I believe there will always be a turn for the better."
Ten days later, Nanyan, Guanggu City, Qingyang Palace.
Murong De, wearing a general's robe and armor, was sitting on the bed in the main hall. He looked at Zhao Si, who was dressed in a sheepskin jacket and dressed as a businessman, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Zhao Huangmen, we meet again, how is your majesty now?
"
Zhao Si's eyes sparkled with tears and he said loudly: "Your Majesty is now settled and well-dressed and well-fed, but have you ever thought that Your Majesty is still in the bitter cold land of western Liaoning, suffering from hunger and cold, shouting at the sky and the earth?
"
Murongde's expression changed and he stood up: "What did you say? How did your Majesty end up in such a situation?"
Zhao Si gritted his teeth: "The family and the country are not prosperous, and people's hearts are unpredictable. After your Majesty arrived in Longcheng, he encountered rebellions several times. Even the King of Liaoxi finally abandoned your Majesty. Now your Majesty only has more than a dozen followers around you, and he still has to wait all day long.
To avoid being chased by traitors and bandits, Your Majesty, you are the only force that His Majesty can rely on now! Please send troops to protect him as soon as possible!"
Murong De sighed and sat back on the big chair: "Zhao Huangmen, it's not that I don't want to rescue His Majesty. In fact, now that Qingzhou has been settled, rebellions are continuing in various places. My troops are now dispersed to quell the rebels and pacify the people.
It was hard to concentrate for a while. You see, when you first entered the city, the Taishan thief Wang Shi who claimed to be Taiping Emperor and was about to be killed at Caishikou was one of the many rebels along the way."
Zhao Si nodded: "Yes, it is indeed what I saw with my own eyes. At that time, Wang Shi and his wife were placed on the execution platform and prepared to be executed. I also asked him where his parents were. He said that the Emperor was on the run and the Queen Mother did not know.
He asked where his brother was, and he said that General Zhengdong died in battle, and General Zhengxi was captured and executed. The people watching laughed, and even his wife couldn't stand it, saying that it was his nonsense and whims that led to
There will be a disaster today."
